public transportation in Dubai

by melysa_4330

Since 2007, public transportation around Dubai greatly improved. From few routes and old buses, nowadays articulated buses (95% of buses are new) and now the Dubai Metro are a common sight. With more routes for buses and new metro stations opening until 2011, more and more people are using the public transportation. Kudos to Road and Transport Authority (RTA) of Dubai Municipality.Cash is not accepted on public buses, metro and water bus. You have to buy a nol card which you can top up/put credit on at various nol card vending machines, bus stations and some supermarkets around the city.

The Dubai International Airport is located south of Deira, in the Al Garhoud district, 4 km southeast of Dubai.In 2008, Dubai International Airport was the 20th busiest airport in the world and, with over 35 million international passengers, the 6th busiest international airport in the world, in terms of international passenger traffic.You can watch my 3 min 44 sec HD Video Moscow Dubai flight part 3 with Dalali Hay Wadi – Groupe Salah,4 min 13 sec HD Video Dubai Good Bye! out of my Youtube channel with Tigran Ghamkochyn - Go.

Dhow

by Robmj

Do a Michael Palin and catch a Dhow from the Deira creekside to India!, although this is more difficult these days than it was back in the late 80's when Palin did it.That aside, the wharf and Dhows are great viewing, the masses of cargo and the way boxes of assorted goods are left on the pavement is quite something.

Taxi's From Sharjah to/from Dubai/Jumeirah

by Hexepatty

Sharjah Airport is a bit of a hall from Dubai and Jumeirah. When we arrived at 10PM on Saturday, traffic wasn't bad. We got to the hotel Vicinity within about 20 minutes. We were assured to be at Sharjah Sunday evening by 8pm, a 20 minute drive from Dubai was out of the question. Traffic I hear is horrendous. Beyond belief Horrors. In fact cab drivers didn't want to take us from Jumeirah to Sharjah at 2pm! Crazy, uh? Finally we found one willing to take us to Sharjah and it only took about -- 25 minutes! ( I guees we missed that horrific traffic after all!). So if you land in Sharjah, just be aware that getting a cab to/ from Dubai could be a challenge depending on the time of day.Dropped off in Sharjah at 2pm for an 8pm check in was kind of a drag, but we visisted the Sharja Historical Center and the Radisson hotel. (Air Con, baby....)

Air Arabia

by Hexepatty

We arrived and departed via Air Arabia at the Sharjah Airport --- not to be confused with the Dubai City International Airport. We flew from Kuwait to Sharja for $99, and left Sharjah to Istanbul for $145. You can't beat that.

6 STAR AIRLINE

by DAO

Unless you are blessed with wealth, you will probably enjoy most of your travels across the world in Economy – also know as “Cattle Class”. The best airline in the world for those reasonable airfares is EMIRATES.Why Emirates is better:• Best Flight Crews in the airThese people pride themselves on being friendly. They are happy to be there, happy to see you and it shows. No request is a problem.• Comfortable seatsThe interiors are always new, you always get a pillow and a blanket, and seats are plush.• Free Unlimited alcoholAnything you want and the crew don’t hassle you if you want to drink a lot of cold beers, wine, whiskey, whatever you choose.• In-flight entertainmentYou can watch about 10-15 brand new movies and you can pause movies so you can go on your travels inside the plane. Also have the forward and underside cameras to watch takeoffs and landings just like you were in the...

Sharjah is the hub of Air Arabia.New Airbus planes only, incredibly cheap flights, excellent services, friendly staff, efficient webpage, e-tickets only. Moreover, reasonably priced food on board. Over 90% of the passengers are foreign workers in the Emirates, going back home/heading to work. Hence, the destinations……
